===Antidepressants===
{{Main|Antidepressant}}
Antidepressants are drugs used to treat [[clinical depression]], and they are also often used for anxiety and other disorders. Most antidepressants will hinder the breakdown of [[serotonin]], [[norepinephrine]], and/or [[dopamine]]. A commonly used class of antidepressants are called [[selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor]]s (SSRIs), which act on serotonin transporters in the brain to increase levels of serotonin in the [[synaptic cleft]].<ref name="Stahl"/> Another is the [[serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors]] (SNRIs), which increase both serotonin and norepinephrine. Antidepressants will often take 3–5 weeks to have a noticeable effect as the regulation of receptors in the brain adapts. There are multiple classes of antidepressants which have different mechanisms of action. Another type of antidepressant is a [[monoamine oxidase inhibitor]] (MAOI), which is thought to block the action of [[monoamine oxidase]], an enzyme that breaks down serotonin and [[norepinephrine]]. MAOIs are not used as first-line treatment due to the risk of [[hypertensive crisis]] related to the consumption of foods containing the amino acid [[tyramine]].<ref name="Stahl"/>
